The distance a falling object falls in some amount of time is

        D = 1/2  a  T²

If this flowerpot falls off a balcony on Earth, then 'a' is the
acceleration of gravity on Earth, and we can write

      85 m  =  1/2 (9.8 m/s²) T²

Divide each side by  4.9 m/s² :

      85/4.9  s²  =  T²

Square root each side:

      T  =  √(85/4.9)  seconds

          =      4.165 seconds .

The ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is an artifact is 1:3. Given that half-life of carbon-14 is 5730years, how old is the arti
dusya [7]

Answer:

9155 years old

Explanation:

We use the following expression for the decay of a substance:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}

So we first estimate the value of k knowing that the half-life of the C14 is 5730 years:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}\\N_0/2=N_0\,\,e^{-k*5730}\\1/2 = e^{-k*5730}\\ln(1/2)=-k*5730\\k= 0.00012

so, now we can estimate the age of the artifact by solving for"t" in the equation:

1/3=e^{-0.00012*t}\\ln(1/3)= -0.00012*t\\t=9155. 102

which we can round to 9155 years old.

Calculate the change in total internal energy for a system that releases 2.59 × 104 kJ of heat and does 6.46 × 104 kJ of work on
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The equation to use for this is the following:

dU = q + w

As the heat is being release, this value is negative, and same here happens with the work done, because it's in the surroundings.

Therefore the change in the energy would be:

dU = -2.59x10^4 - 6.46^4

dU = -9.05x10^4 kJ

A 6 cm diameter drill bit is used to drill a cylindrical hole through the middle of a sphere of radius 5 cm. What is the volume
ira [324]

Answer:

2.4086 * 10^(-4)  m^3

Explanation:

Volume of sphere = 4/3 * pi * r1^3

Volume of cylinder = pi*r2^2*h

r1 = 0.05 m

r2 = 0.03 m

Hence,

Resulting Volume = Volume of sphere - Volume of cylinder

= \frac{4}{3}*pi*(0.05)^3 - pi*(0.03)^2*(0.1)\\= 5.236 * 10^(-4)  - 2.8274*10^(-4) \\= 2.4086 * 10^(-4) m^3
